Abstract

Embodiments of a power provision system of the present invention generally include a transformer, a drive assembly, a motor control center, rectifiers, circuit breakers, and a cooling system, all of which are enclosed in a cabinet that is divided into a plurality of compartments that house various components and that is adapted and configured to be skid mounted on a trailer. In one embodiment, high voltage power is supplied to the power provision system, wherein it is stepped down to lower voltages by the transformer and the lower voltage power is utilized to drive a fracking pump motor via the drive assembly, as well as auxiliary equipment, such as the cooling system, via the motor control center. Embodiments of a method of using the power provision system are also provided.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 839,726, filed on Apr. 28, 2019, which application is incorporated herein by reference as if reproduced in full below.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not Applicable.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0003]The present invention generally relates to a power provision system. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention are directed to an apparatus and a method for providing electrical power to oil and gas fracking process equipment.Background of the Invention[0004]Hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) is a well stimulation method known in the art in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid.
